GDR Minor Area Worksheet
Student’s Name _____________________________________________________
All Ph.D. students will take a minimum of 12 hours of course work, normally at
Vanderbilt, in a minor area or areas. The minor can be in another area of the
Graduate Department of Religion or in another Department of the University, or it
can be an interdisciplinary minor defined by a problem or theme proposed by the
student. In the Religion, Psychology, and Culture area this requirement is satisfied
by two minors. Competence in the minor area will be tested by a Qualifying
Examination or paper, as negotiated with the minor area adviser. A minor in
interdisciplinary studies may, under appropriate circumstances and with the
approval of the adviser, include some courses related to a student's major area of
studies. The Minor Area Worksheet should be completed by the adviser and kept
in the student's permanent file in the Departmental office.
